But is it half of your friends? Nowhere near half of the people in my network have ended up with LC.

Whoops - sorry - should have clarified. I meant any additional studies that validate this statement. This statement defies common sense from those of us in the real world who are surrounded by Covid victims of all age groups who have shown no long Covid symptoms 3 months after initial infection.

Up to half in 3 months is simply not a believable figure/statement based on real world anecdotal experience - and how can "unrealized symptoms" not impacting life functions in any way as implied by some be measured from a practical perspective? Also agreed that "up to half" could technically mean anything less than 50% but implies something close to 50% or the statement is meaningless.
